(i) We will apply BODMAS here. We will do addition first and then subtraction.

Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction. To obtain the numerator of the improper fraction we must multiply the whole number part to the denominator of the fractional part, then we shall add the product to the numerator of the fractional part. For the denominator of the improper fraction it would be the same as the denominator of the fractional part in the mixed fraction.

(iii) For this we need to apply laws of exponents.
Step 1: Apply this law of exponent first ⇒
⇒ [(-5)⁻²]⁻¹
⇒ (-5)⁻²⁽⁻¹⁾
Step 2: Apply this law of integers for exponents ⇒ (-)(-) = (+)
⇒ (-5)⁻²⁽⁻¹⁾
⇒ (-5)²
⇒ (-5) × (-5)
⇒ 25
∴ [(-5)⁻²]⁻¹ = 25
